Tapestry Panel, 1000-1460s. Creator: Unknown
Tapestry Panel, 1000-1460s. The design of this panel depends on the repetition of a single motif: a small, geometricized head set inside a stepped V, which seems to represent the stylized bodies and wings of two birds. This motif, woven in different colour combinations, alternates between up and down to form a sophisticated interlocking pattern that has no proper top and bottom.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Tapestry Panel dating back to the 11th-15th century. Created by an unknown artist, this panel features a mesmerizing design that revolves around the repetition of a single motif. The motif itself consists of a small, geometricized head enclosed within a stepped V shape, symbolizing stylized bodies and wings of two birds. The intricate interlocking pattern formed by these motifs is truly awe-inspiring. Woven in various color combinations, the motifs alternate between facing up and down, resulting in an exquisite tapestry with no discernible top or bottom. It is believed that this extraordinary piece once adorned a garment. Crafted from camelid fiber and cotton using the tapestry weave technique, this masterpiece belongs to the Chancay Chimú style prevalent in Peru's central coast during that era. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art as part of their heritage art collection, it stands as an enigmatic testament to ancient Peruvian textile craftsmanship. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has beautifully captured this significant artifact through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and historical significance even today. This print serves as both a visual delight and an educational tool for those fascinated by ancient cultures and artistic traditions worldwide.
